Recommended incubation temperatures vary by species. Consult specific guidelines for the type of eggs you are incubating.
5.3 Automatic Egg Turning
The incubator features an automatic egg turning system that gently rotates the eggs at regular intervals. This simulates natural brooding behavior and prevents the embryo from sticking to the shell.
- The egg turning mechanism operates automatically once the incubator is powered on.
- Ihe dị mkpa: Approximately 3-4 days before the expected hatch date, the automatic egg turning function should be disabled. This allows the chicks to position themselves for hatching. To disable, simply remove the egg turning mechanism from the incubator or unplug its connection if accessible (refer to specific model instructions if a separate plug exists, otherwise remove the tray).
5.4 Humidity Management
Maintaining proper humidity is crucial for successful hatching.
- Regularly check the water level in the water trough at the bottom of the incubator.
- Refill with distilled water as needed. Avoid using tap water, as mineral deposits can affect performance.
- Humidity requirements vary during different stages of incubation and for different species. Adjust water levels accordingly.
